"John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home,” writes Schanberg. “Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents.”

Schanberg notes there is overwhelming evidence — official documents, radio intercepts, witness depositions, satellite photos — of soldiers left behind in Vietnam. McCain has insisted this evidence was “woven together by unscrupulous deceivers to create an insidious and unpatriotic myth” about the U.S. government. According to McCain, the evidence consists of nothing more than the “bizarre rantings of the MIA hobbyists,” “hoaxers,” “charlatans,” “conspiracy theorists,” and “dime-store Rambos.”

(Notice how the people seeking truth about our lost Vietnam POW's are treated with contempt, poked fun at, dismissed as some kind of 'whacko' and the one size fits all "Conspiracy Theorists?"

I believe that it was his father, Admiral McCain that instigated the cover-up of the USS Liberty. I guess the apple didn’t fall to far from the tree. Another daddy’s boy like W trying to get out from under the big man’s shadow. I guess with his dad’s treason tucked away for a rainy day he could pull some strings for the wastrel.

Are they still using those ‘secure’ voting machines? Here’s an article on how to get them to play pacman. That might improve voter turnout come November. http://www.geekosystem.com/voting-machine-pac-man/
